There are so many moments to remember and sometimes I think that maybe we're not really people at all. Maybe moments are what we are.... Sometimes I just survive. But sometimes I stand on the rooftop of my existence, arms stretched out, begging for more.

About This Quote

This quote is an autobiography of a girl named Justine. She says that there are so many moments to remember and sometimes I think that maybe we're not really people at all. Maybe moments are what we are. Sometimes I just survive.

But sometimes I stand on the rooftop of my existence, arms stretched out, begging for more. This is how she lives her life everyday. It shows how she sees her life and how she keeps on surviving through all the hard times.
